Directions

Cut the tomato in half width-wise. With a small knife, cut a circle in each half. [see picture for size reference]
Eat the circles if you like, we won’t be needing these

Find a non stick pan big enough for the two slices of tomato [or more depending on quantity]
Add olive oil to the pan, turn burner onto medium. While the pan is heating, dip each side of the tomatoes in the olive oil and then leave on the rounded size [cut size up]

Let that cook for a minute or so, until lightly golden. Then add the eggs [inside the holes]. Cook on each side for approximately 1 minute [for runny, for harder yolk - 2 mins]
Salt, pepper, and garlic each side.

Place on plate with cut size up [for presentation]
Sprinkle parsley over.
Add any other garnish you desire [I did thinly sliced carrots- yay veggies for breakfast!]
